Their mascot is Touchdown the Bear so a possible AI thumbnail of Mason Manic taming a circus bear.

First row above floor seats in the best Section of the stadium 117!!!

I was thinking something that incorporated our own "Big Red."

This game is definitely going to be a test.

Regardless of who Cornell has played shooting 44% from three and averaging 22 assists per game as a team is definitely something to be thoughtful of.

Pace of play is going to matter this game. If Mason can control the pace and slow the game down, they should be able to get another W here.

Attended a Cornell hockey game recently. They advertised that they'll be hosting "Ivy Madness" in March. I hadn't realized that Cornell will be hosting the Ivy League basketball tournament in March.

On another note, I believe Bucknell was down a couple guys against Cornell. Still, guard the 3, pound it inside and pick up win #9!

So nice to see us not being a "turnover waiting to happen" this year.
